Thanks, zeevon, for letting
me know that
I've been certified as an apprentice.

I've just created a new project page for The
Ottawa Python Authors Group,
OPAG. dyork
is also
(at least) a contributor. The home page I listed on the
project page is not live yet; it should be in a week's
time.

petroligarchy - Government, or
effective rule, by a small group of oilmen (petroleum
industrialists). The Dubya administration in the U.S.
provides a good example. Example: ``The worldwide
petroligarchy might destroy the Kyoto Accord.''

haircut blog - A Weblog that is
filled with descriptions of mundane activities such as
getting a haircut. By extension, a complete waste of
time.
See
The Pseudodictionary for credits.

Congratulations to dyork on having begun
French lessons! Picking up an expressive language
(as opposed to a functional one) after childhood is always
difficult -- you have to accept bewilderment for quite a
while. Bonne chance, Dan! (And thanks for the
advice re projects.)

How to apply the philosophies of Oriental martial arts in
the world of OSS; i.e.: use one's opponent's force to one's
advantage.
